Oh Wow!!! Bright ruby color. Aromas of cedar, smoke, exotic spices, rose petals and bright cherry fruit. Flavors of crushed plums and black cherry fruit, black licorice, tobacco and prunes. Lovely herbal, spice, mineral and floral notes on the long and concentrated finish. Fine grained tannins and full bodied. Perfect balance of power, complexity and finesse. Outstanding and Classic! Felt a little sad when I noticed the bottle was empty. Thanks so much to Kasey and Petey for sharing this one.

2017 vintage. Not much on the nose currently. PNP'd. Medium body. Darker fruit (plum, cherry, blackberry) with the corresponding musculature. Some tannins but mostly dispersed to the peripheries at the moment. Needs a few years/hours open but showing nicely for a less than "A" vintage. 10.22.24.
